Most baseball heads know Lou Gehrig replaced Wally Pipp to start his 14 year streak of games played. Who replaced Gehrig when he took himself out of the game ending the streak?

Nope...it was President Taft in 1910, opening day for the Washington Nationals (Taft was between Roosevelt and Wilson)

No much earlier, Taft was first to throw a pitch for any game (Opening Day 1910), Wilson was first for a World Series (1915)

Bush Sr and Jr both threw out pitches often. Last year W did the first pitch for the Rangers World Series, which makes sense
